Nothing Works Equally Well Everywhere Everytime

Besides the fact that I enjoy reading and that I'm a naturally curious person, I've never let off an opportunity to learn about other business/management styles, methodologies and philosophies. What I mean by others are other than those which I've read about and personally believe to be really good. The main reason being that I believe that no one single management method/philosophy will be equally effective in all industries, organizations, cultures, markets or situations. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses at different times, in different spaces and in different environments. I think Business 2.0 magazine's article on 25 of the Best-Kept Secrets of the World's Best Companies goes to show that as well. The fact that there is 25 of them at the top goes to show that there is no one perfect match for everyone everywhere. Not even the top 25 will be a perfect fit for every business or organization. Be Excellent blog has a quick list of the 25 here.

So, never stop learning new things, even if what you are doing now is working really well. Who knows, you might find some obscure management style that will propel your organization to new heights. And into the next 25 Best-kept Secrets.
